My dear Henry –

You will be glad to have one Line to tell you that our voyage was prosperous by 2 H 42 m long [illegible] but neither your Mother or Horatia ¹ or any of us in short except poor Gwynne ² were at all indisposed – though nearly all the other Passengers were very bad indeed – Having been detained longer than I intended at Dover we [illegible deletion] to set out tomorrow – & to go by Cambrai as I told you – At Rheims or Besancon [sic] we shall hear from you

If you have an opportunity communicate this intelligence to Moore ³ – to whom I wrote from Dover & will not therefore trouble with another Letter – Give my love to Constance ⁴
